Champion Wire Fox Terriers

Birchhurst Kennels
World Renowned Wire Fox Terriers

Our new Wire Fox Terrier puppies are cute, healthy, smart and playful. They have great potential, as high -class pets or for show conformation or obedience. Some have saddles, partial saddles or are hound marked. Rarely we get a white pup with a tan head.

Frank Ortolani of the Hetherington Kennels, Cincinnati, got me started right with 2 champions plus stud services to the great Champion Deko Druid. Then Eve Ballich of Eve Wire Kennels helped me by providing advice and bloodlines.

More recently Peter Green has been a big help in helping me get Champion Cottleston Catalyst and CH Rismount Playwrite (Smartie).  

It is not uncommon for one of my customers to write "people stop me all the time to tell me that my Wire belongs in the show ring." My pups are sweet hearts to live with and a joy to behold. We offer free booklets on Wire Fox Terriers.

Disposition

Disposition is what we have worked so hard for. It has taken me 25 years to develop the kind of disposition that I want in a Wire Fox Terrier --- the kind I know you want also.

I want a sweet, loving and affectionate dog --- one that has a great intelligence and is a member of the family, not just an outsider looking in.

I believe this can be bred into dogs just like head length and other physical traits. To accomplish this, I started looking for Champion Wire Fox Terriers with great dispositions, also.  When I locate one, I sent my best female there to be bred. Over the past 25 years I did this many times, always keeping the best for breeding.

 (Paddy) on his way to his championship.

I have now developed a strain of Wire Fox Terrier that is a remarkable pet. He is fun to live with. Who wants a nervous, barky dog? Not me. I do want a loyal, easy-going dog who loves to play ball and games with my children.

I want a dog that has the courage to defend me if I need help --- no matter how big that burglar or attacker might be. I want a dog that is handsome, that walks with a spring in his step - head erect, ears forward and with a tail that could carry a flag. I want others to admire my dog.

He's full of pep and always fun,
Ready to play and loves to run.

Chase the ball or tug of war,
Filled with love right to the core.

A friend to the end of his wagging tail--
Count on him, he will not fail.

What's nicer than this loyal pet?
There's not a thing, you can bet!
